Recommendations of actions for resilience and sustainability: Dakar
The Recommendations for Actions for Resilience and Sustainability (RAR-S) proposed in this report are outputs of the “Making Cities Sustainable and Resilient Action: Implementing the Sendai Framework for DRR 2015-2030” (MCSR) at the local level. This MCSR action is a joint initiative of UNISDR and UN-Habitat and receives financial support from the European Commission (EC DEVCO).
Its overall objective is to improve the understanding of, and capacity to, address disaster risks and build resilience at the local level, by supporting national and local disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation strategies, while focusing on building local capacities.
The following Urban Resilience Principles were developed to guide the process of achieving urban resilience in cities:
- Dynamic nature of urban resilience;
- Systemic approach to cities;
- Promote participation in planning and governance;
- Multi-stakeholder engagement;
- Strive towards development goals.
